The headline says it all. With the bases empty and two outs in the bottom of the third inning Friday night, Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon doubled on a ground ball to second against the Rockies (GIF courtesy Chad Moriyama).

Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu ranged over and knocked the ball down, but didn't come up with it and overran the ball as it rolled back onto the infield dirt.
